Last Tuesday night, I went to the Los Angeles airport to pick up my wife and son David from their week long vacation trip in New Jersey. I knew they will be both hungry by the time they arrive so I decided to go to David’s favorite, the In n Out restaurant, famous for its […]
Finding Grace in Failures
Through the years, we all learn important lessons. There is something I wish to share that has encouraged me and I think will greatly help you, too. I have learned that God will often let us fail out there for some very good reasons. I have learned that whenever I fall short, there is always […]
Encourage Someone Today
Recently, I have seen how life can be a struggle for many. Whatever it is that challenges us, we all know that it helps a lot when we hear words of encouragement. I have learned that there is no exception – we all take knocks in life. Yet the best things in life often come […]
Tension
